While We have described the present einhodiment of our invention inconsiderable detail, it will be understood that the invenu tion is notlimited to the precise construction shown, but that variousmodifications may be mede Without departing from the spirit and' scopeof the invention as defined by the appended claims.

We claim es our invention:

l. ln nv transmission, in combination, shifter elements, a housing, elever mounted in said housing and movablein plenos at engles to enehother and adapted for swinging movement in one plane to engege either ofsaisi elements and ior swinging movement in another plane to shift theelement so engeged, ond springs carried by'said lever and provided withbearings et their ends against the housing, tending to hold the lever incentr'l position, seid hearings being slirleble laterally across theWell of said housing es the lever is swung to shift said element.

2. In a transmission, shifter elements, n part in which sairl elementsore movebly mounted, e housing connected to said part, n lever mountedin said housing for universal movement, said lever being adapted to en.-gage either of said shifter elements, and mes-ns carried by the leverand bearing against the opposite Walls of seid housing and movablelaterally across the surface of seid Wells, seid means tending torestore the' lever to central position.

3. In a transmission, ve pivoteliy mounted lever, e part extendingsliclahly through sui lever, heads at the opposite enfle of seid port,spring ineens' interposed between eecli heefl 5. ln e geershiftingdevice for transmis i sions, s bese lievmg e housing rising there;

from, the base having two peirs of hearings therein, two parallelshifter rorls havingv their ends mounted in seid hearings for slirl ingmovement, two 'shifter elements eac-h having n coller fixed on the cental portion of one oi' said rofls to slide therewith, s roels'havingnotches therein, sfinring-pres.eo clogs mounted in the bose suol urrengeto engage in said notches, s. lever mounted for universel movement in :LXe-rl hearing et the upper end oi" said housing, e looking 'platodisposed longitudinally between seid shifter rods and having its endscast into solid base, said plate having stops bent up therefrom :itopposite ends against which the collars of seid shifter elements mayrebut, the plete further lowing e. cent/rel notch adopted to receive thelower enel of said leveir, one pair of lugs on each of seid oollorsbetween which the lower end of the lever is arranged to engage formoving seid shifter elementsh ln testimony whereof we hereunto set ourhands in the presence of two Witnesses.
